"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think the Coke I guzzled in Kenya was much tastier.

Cane sugar. Get your coke at the mexican grocery.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I should put a couple in my fridge for sore throat days. Don't want it much normally, but when the throat is sore it feels good.

Did they keep the coke obscenely cold in Kenya? Where possible, they did in Mozambique and Zambia. Felt as if there were bubbly little crystals going down your throat, but not in a bad way. Was really good.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

No strangers touched my belly either. One cow-orker, however, did bend down to speak to my pregnant belly once, and I felt like putting my hands in front of it to protect the wee one from her.

I find that Isaac seems to inspire strangers to touch his feet. And while I share the impulse, I find it a bit inappropriate.

Oh, obscene cold! That might have been some of the delight. They were pretty nippy.

Damned few people have left for Boss's Boss's Boss's house so far, and the invite said 4. Which'll make it even less issue to just not show, I'm thinking.

Burrell, I think they're assessing his toes for nibbling.

They happen to be delicious.

I totally knew that.

I gave in. The other guy's numbers are so incomprehensible to me, I had to ask. 7 * 150GB * 110% keeps failing to be 1.5GB. And even if it was ... the numbers are still of the wonk.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh ick.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

DavidS beat me to the cane sugar explanation. I've discovered that Odwalla makes an awesomely grand lemonade, which is sweetened -- not too much -- with "pressed cane juice", for those whose lips must never touch the Deadly White Powder. I don't care, it's just the right amount of sweetness that more complements than offsets the lemon sourousity.
